    Nikkei 225 Rises Above 68,800 After Softer U.S. Inflation Data

    Japan’s Nikkei 225 climbed 0.92% to 68,830, supported by softer-than-expected U.S. inflation data that reduced expectations for further Federal Reserve rate hikes. Lower U.S. rate expectations improved sentiment toward equities, particularly Japanese exporters. The index is approaching the 69,000 level, a key area traders are watching for signs of either continued gains or renewed resistance. Investors will monitor upcoming economic data and central bank signals for further direction.

    U.S. CPI and Japanese Bond Yields in Focus for Risk Assets

    The source expects upcoming U.S. inflation data to be relatively soft and Japanese bond yields to continue declining in the coming weeks. Lower bond yields could improve market stability and reduce pressure on risk assets such as stocks and cryptocurrencies. The outlook matters because easing inflation and calmer bond markets could encourage investors to shift capital back into higher-risk investments. Markets will closely watch the U.S. CPI report and movements in Japanese bond yields for confirmation.

At the same time, Upbit’s 24-hour trading volume jumped 1,426% to $4.27 billion, according to CoinGecko. The sharp increase in crypto trading came as the stock market weakened and forced liquidations in South Korean equities reached about KRW 425.8 billion ($286 million) between July 1 and July 10. Investors will watch whether volatility continues across both stock and crypto markets.

    CPI Expectations Drive Market Sentiment Before Inflation Report

    The market is focused on today’s U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, due at 8:30 AM ET. Economists expect headline inflation to ease to 3.8% year over year, while core CPI is seen at 2.8%. A hotter-than-expected reading could lift Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar while pressuring equities. A softer report may boost risk assets by strengthening expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts later this year if inflation cools.

    Crypto Market, Stocks, Gold, and Silver Crash

    Global markets lost more than $1.5 trillion in value over the past 10 hours as Bitcoin, gold, silver, and major Asian stock markets declined sharply. The sell-off followed fresh U.S. strikes on Iran, raising concerns about higher oil prices and inflation. Investors also reacted to expectations of possible Bank of Japan intervention in the yen and a rise in bond yields, which could increase borrowing costs for businesses and consumers. Markets will closely watch geopolitical developments and central bank signals for further direction.

    Bitcoin Price Holds Steady While Leveraged Bets Face Liquidation Risk

    Bitcoin’s prolonged sideways trading is punishing leveraged traders as rising futures positions continue to unwind during market pullbacks. Binance’s Bitcoin-denominated Open Interest climbed from 104,000 BTC to 130,000 BTC between late January and March, with a similar 53,000 BTC increase through early June despite limited price movement. Both periods were followed by sharp corrections that erased about 35,000 BTC of Open Interest within two weeks. Why it matters: Positive funding rates indicate traders were betting on a breakout, leaving overleveraged long positions vulnerable to liquidation as Bitcoin remains stuck in a low-volatility trading range.

    MSTR Stock Nears Record-Low Valuation Amid Bitcoin Sell-Off

    Strategy’s market net asset value (mNAV) has fallen to the lowest 1% of its historical range, a level last seen during the 2022 bear market, indicating investors are paying one of the smallest premiums ever for its Bitcoin holdings. The decline follows Bitcoin’s drop of more than 50% from late-2025 highs, leaving Strategy with over $10 billion in unrealized Bitcoin losses and weighing on its share price. Some market participants view the current valuation as a potential accumulation opportunity similar to 2022, while others expect the stock to fall further if Bitcoin remains weak. Investors are also watching for another Bitcoin purchase after Michael Saylor shared his signature “orange dots” chart, which has previously preceded acquisition announcements.

    KOSPI Index Crashes 27% in 25 Days

    South Korea’s KOSPI has fallen 27% over the past 25 days after reaching a peak gain of 122% earlier this year. The latest drop of more than 8% triggered a market-wide circuit breaker and a 20-minute trading halt. The sell-off was led by Samsung and SK Hynix, which together account for a large share of the index and are closely tied to AI memory chip demand. Investors are questioning whether strong earnings growth can be sustained, leaving the market highly volatile despite historically low valuations.

    Is Bitcoin Going to Go Back Up?

    Bitcoin remains under pressure in the short term, but several factors suggest the longer-term outlook is still constructive. Morgan Stanley added about $13.2 million in Bitcoin over the past week and has not sold any of its holdings since May. Its Bitcoin ETF has also attracted more than $377 million in cumulative inflows. While analyst expects Bitcoin dominance to decline as Ethereum gains relative strength, continued institutional buying could provide support for Bitcoin if broader market conditions improve.

According to the source, about $14.39 million in Bitcoin long positions were liquidated over the past four hours.

    Asian Stock Market Today Fall as South Korea Stocks Leads Sell-Off

    Asian stock markets declined, led by South Korea, where the KOSPI dropped 5.14%. Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell 1.12% and China’s Shanghai Composite lost 0.76%, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng gained 0.55%. The sell-off was driven by weakness in semiconductor and AI stocks, renewed Middle East tensions, higher oil prices, and investor caution ahead of this week’s U.S. inflation report. Markets will closely watch U.S. CPI data for signals on the interest rate outlook.

The gains reflect concerns that escalating tensions could disrupt global oil supplies through one of the world’s busiest energy trade routes. Markets will closely monitor developments in the region and any impact on oil exports and shipping.

    Why SK Hynix Stock ($SKHY) is Down Today?

    SK Hynix shares fell more than 10% in Seoul after the company’s strong Nasdaq debut, as investors took profits following a sharp rally. The decline also reflected concerns over softer-than-expected momentum in HBM4 memory chip shipments and a broader market sell-off that pushed the KOSPI lower. Despite the drop in South Korea, Nasdaq-listed SKHY continued to trade above its IPO price in pre-market trading. Investors will watch AI memory demand and upcoming earnings for signs of sustained growth.
